Alright folks, if you were a betting man who would you put your money on to win? Break down the fight...
I would say crawford ud or late stoppage. Porter wont box with his shorter reach and will have to chase the fight which will suit crawford.
I'd be shocked if Crawford stopped Porter, but Porter has become battle worn in tough, 12 round fights against Brook, Thurman, Garcia, Ugas, and Spence. You can make the argument that Porter lost his last three fights in a row.
Crawford easily became undisputed at 140, after stopping 7 of his 8 opponents at that weight. He has stopped all 4 of his opponents at 147, three of which were undefeated.
If they fight next, it would probably be Crawford's toughest fight of his career so far, but I still see him winning.
Let's not forget Broner knocking Porter down in the 12th, though it was a flash KD and mostly due to exhaustion. Porter is not a mindless brawler, but he relies heavily on his punch resistance. I just don't see Porter making it out of a Crawford fight without getting stunned a few times.
...and Crawford will occasionally have to fight Porter off on the inside with smart body punching.
Porter has fought Brook, Thurman, Berto, Granados, Garcia, Ugas, and Spence. Anyone think that his chin/punch resistance is going to fail him soon, especially against someone like Crawford?

Crawford by UD. He'll use his reach to outpoint Porter, who'll try to make it a dogfight.

i hope you guys picking crawford to win comfortably are not basing your opinion on how easily he beat jeff freaking horn ,that since porter is also a pressure fighter aka swarmer, he'd do the same to him
there are levels gentlemen , porter is a top dog...jeff horn was a school teacher given a gift, that's the one crawford beat
That's a 50-50 fight, but Crawford can't fight the way he did tonight, he can't win that type of fight against Porter. He needs to move and outpoint Porter from the outside and that is no easy task given that Porter has good mobility and can keep up with Bud.
It's quite obvious that Crawford is way better and would outbox Porter, there will be some tough spots but overall Crawford is so much better. Whoever thinks Porter beats him you know for sure is a damn PBC shill who doesnt know shi.. about boxing.
Just a reminder that Mauricio Herrera kicked Garcia’s a$$.
They have selective memory. Probably forgot about Peterson and struggling with a shot Judah as well. I guess knocking out Granados, Salka, and Rios made Danny the new Tommy Hearns.
